What do you think of the Caithness Tartan?

[Piglet]

I wouldnt say its the best looking tartan i have seen.

[angela5]

Kinda makes yer eyes go funny.

[lassieinfife]

Prefer "Flower Of Scotland" - a lot easier on the eye after a drink or two.

Don't think you need drink for Caithness tartan to go for the eyes - its a bit garish!!

If you stand about 1 foot from the monitor, focus on a point and stare for 30 seconds, you can see a 3D image appear of Wick Harbour ...
Only kidding, it's quite subdued. Nice really. Just wouldn't want it on my sofa.

I don't find the Caithness tartan very appealing.

But I was fair taken by the McAllans Men in Kilts calendar. I'm thinking of doing a Szin in Kilts 2007 calendar.

[Bobinovich]

I think it's a bit too close to the Burberry tartan and hence only suitable for Caithness Chav's

[Flyermonkey]

What are you favourite tartans? I have been enjoying playing with the tartan search thing on the McAllans website

Tartan & Clan Search

Tha Braveheart one is pretty cool, so is the plain black though I guess thats not really a tartan.

I am really impressed with the rest of the McAllans website as there is a lot of good stuff on there, it's good to see that a local business can make a good go of going global!

[footie chick]

The Braveheart one is pretty cool

I love the Braveheart tartan

Not too sure if I like the Caithness tartan myself, one of my friends sons had a kilt made up in it, it actually looked quite good. It is supposed to incorporate all the colours of Caithness county, and as such may be worn by any Caithnessian, many of whom are not as lucky the Sinclairs, Gunns or Sutherlands, all of which have many variations of their particular clan tartan to choose from.

I don't think the Caithness tartan looks great in the pic, but I'm sure it would be nicer when actually worn. Great to have a look at the MacAllans website, as I didn't know they had one. Thanks for the link to it.

There is always the possibility of doing a "Moderators in Kilts" calendar. The profits could be used to buy some new chairs for the Org Pub. It gets kind of crowded in there some nights.

Sorry, its rank awful tartan imo

Now there's a scary thought - especially if we're all wearing the Caithness kilt. But brothers, if you thought that was a bit grimm, just wait...

I'm going ahead with my own fairytale calendar. I have the photographer, 12 money-spinning locations, and a brand-new set of 12 kilts - the trendy new ones that you don't iron. Hopefully, the calendar will be a goldmine. It's entitled Rumpledkiltszin 2007.

Brilliant, I'm looking forward to that.

Don't forget it's not only the Scots wear kilts, other Celtic folk do too, see http://www.alanrichards.org/cornishtartan.htm - the National one's nice.

The use of kilts in Cornwall dates back several centuries.

(Don't worry I've got Scottish Blood too!)
